Description

Ocean Scan is the first inclusive labeled global marine plastic database, designed to benefit remote sensing researchers. Ocean Scan brings together global in-situ observations and their matching Earth Observation data in one place, and offers additional features specifically designed to benefit remote sensing researchers. Ocean Scan it is available via an online platform easily accessible through a simple login and it also includes a mobile application specifically designed to collect and classify in-situ data during campaigns, using a standardised approach compatible with remote sensing needs. Ocean Scan is designed to unlock the potential of EO-research in marine litter studies and promote international cooperation and across the world.  Website: https://www.oceanscan.org/
